If you've read the PHP manual, you'll see that ftp_get() retrieves the
remote file (on the FTP server PHP is connecting to) and saves it as
the local file (on the machine running the PHP script).
If you've uploaded the PHP script to a web server, "local" is defined
as the web server, and subsequentally the user FTP folder.
